Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! I should seriously stay more consistent with my posting schedule. Has anyone any ideas how to do so if you are a massive procrastinator? Would be appreciated if you have any tips, lol.

As you’ve probably guessed by the title, I am going to talk a bit about my reading goals for this year. I believe that I forgot to wish you all a Happy New Year. Let’s cross our bookworm fingers that 2022 will be better than 2021.

And now without further ado, let’s start with this post!

Reading Goals of 2022 aka how to fail yet again because Phannie is not able to stick to a schedule. Ever!

📚 #1 – read more backlisted books because that TBR is way too huge | Since 2017 I’m participating in the Beat the Backlist challenge hosted by Austine Decker but this time I’m really serious about this. I want to tackle that TBR with all the books that are sitting there since I don’t know when.

📚 #2 – tackle the ARC’s | This is probably self-explanatory. I have so many ARC’s on my kindle that I haven’t even read or reviewed yet. This HAS to change in 2022!

📚 #3 – read more diverse | I already read more diverse books than I did before starting this book blog, but I definitely need to do better.

📚 #4 – stop buying so many books | I definitely should stop hauling so many books, and being a bookseller doesn’t help. I still don’t know what goal I am setting before buying a new book. Maybe after 5 or even 10 books that I’ve read from the TBR? I seriously don’t know yet. What would you do in my position?

📚 #5 – finishing these series instead of crying because my favourite books have to end | And yes, I’m specifically looking at Caraval and Shadowhunters. I’m so behind, and I so don’t want these book series to end! Am I the only crazy bookworm out there? Please don’t tell me I am the only one.

📚 #6 – read at least 50 books | Let’s hope that the reading slumps will stay wherever the hell they are because 2022 shouldn’t start as bad as 2021 reading term wise.

And that’s all so far. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that I will stick to these goals so that this would be a first after nearly 5 years of blogging.

How about you? What are your reading, blogging life goals, that you absolutely want to meet? Please let me know in the comments below!
